How you can contribute

Here are a few simple ways you can contribute to Origin. The images we also have in PNG (full 24-bit colors with no JPEG distortion but larger filesize) are indicated. Just replace all extensions (.jpg) with .png if you so choose.

Using with our banner:

The following are all contributions from Origin's designers, some of which I've modified. Because of their versatility (468px by 60px and 728px by 90px banners), they can be used just about anywhere: as forum or email signatures or ad banners. Choose the appropriate design, color, and size for your circumstances!

By word of mouth

This is the simplest and most effective method of them all. Show Origin to all your friends and aquaintances, and demonstrate to them why YOU are a member!

Through your average advertisements

This is where you advertise Origin on any other place allowed - chatrooms (VERY effective), Instant Messengers (AIM, YIM, MSN etc), other forums (the ones you frequent are the best places), shoutboxes, etc—basically anywhere where you can place a link to Origin and explain briefly why they should visit and join.

1) Make real fliers to stick up around towns, clubs, schools etc?2) Make more banners and avatars to stick up around forums, websites, etc?3) Make a MySpace, Faceparty, YouTube, Wiki, etc account to bring in all those people who spend all their time surfing those websites?

2. I'm not much of a graphics person I wish someone were.3. We have a Facebook group. I don't frequent any of the other places except Wiki. I sneaked a link into Origin though on Wikipedia once o_o (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUO). If you notice, it kinda fit. Those links from Wikipedia are very very very VERY helpful in Origin's ranking on Google and other search engines. Links from highly-ranked sites do us very much good o_o

I'm submitting bits and pieces of my work to PHP.net to get published, and if they do, we'll get a lot of links from highly-ranked webpages—that's good. You guys should try the same. Submit bits and pieces of your work to highly-ranked and highly-visited pages linking to, say, a topic on Origin about that artwork.

There is a Facebook group that exists already. You should get an account, Chris.

What is Faceparty?

Odd should go ahead and create a Wikipedia article for Origin

What would we do on YouTube?

And if you want, you can write a MySpace bulletin for Origin. I wouldn't read it however, because I don't frequent MySpace much.

I tried creating the Wiki article but it got deleted 'cause I only wrote 1 sentence o_o. So who wants to do myspace?

Oh please, o_o, I'd glady do it. Hook me up and I could have something like that written in a day. I would target who Jingy and I consider to be the 7 most important members in our history, and I would explain our expansion in a short summary while dedicating about a paragraph per member...with the admins getting a bit more.
